## Summary

NHS England is seeking to procure the development of systems-based tools aimed at learning from patient safety incidents, under the title "Development of systems-based tools for learning from patient safety incidents". This project falls under the health services category and is located in Leeds, England. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the contract period starting on 29 November 2021 and set to conclude by 31 March 2022. The initial tender period ended on 29 October 2021. The method of procurement was a limited competitive quotation, with a total contract value of £40,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of delivering innovative research services and tools within the healthcare sector. Businesses specialising in patient safety, systems thinking, and tool development will be particularly well-suited to compete. By engaging in this contract, successful bidders can contribute to improving the NHS's approach to patient safety while expanding their portfolio by working with a prominent national health organisation.

## Notice

The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) is a key part of the NHS Patient Safety Strategy. It aims to significantly enhance the quality of learning and improvement following patient safety incidents. This project will require an initial overview of currently available tools and resources for complementary methods to investigation. Based on the learning from this scoping exercise we anticipate the development of new or refreshed tools to prompt systems thinking and a standardised approach to the application of a variety of tools/techniques to support learning from patient safety incidents using complementary methods to traditional incident investigations. We expect a minimum of five tools to be created including tools to perform After Action Reviews, debriefs and safety huddles. These tools must be tested with representative users to validate the usability of the design. The work must be completed by 31 March 2022. NHSEI wishes to commission an England-wide review of the role and expectations of MVPs (including in relation to parents of babies in neonatal units), arrangements for the remuneration and claiming of expenses by SUV members and issue good practice guidance to commissioners of MVPs. The guidance should give clear, concise and practical suggestions to commissioners about reasonable expectations of MVPs and effective support arrangements (including remuneration). The guidance should reflect the varying operating conditions, e.g., urban vs rural, Local Maternity Systems with single providers and or multiple providers/maternity unit sites.
